A data association method based on regression analysis is proposed for the combined requirements of the real time and accuracy in target tracking under complex electromagnetic environment by applying the artifice dealing with the points in the measure field. Confidence intervals of the targets at a given time are predicted by calculating the regression coefficients of the system track
and the associated observations are screened out step by step. Then
an optional time is assigned as the system period
and a group regression analysis on the distilled observation arrays in the period is performed. Finally
the fused observation points are calculated and the innovations are refreshed. The method can not only simplify the complex problem of data association to the dynamic process of refreshing
but also optimize the synchronization step. Simulation results show that the proposed method and joint probability data association(JPDA)have the similar performance on the RMSE and the probability in missing the track
but the new method has superiority on the average CPU time when the number of targets is increased on the linear situation; and that tracking errors of both the methods are similar
but the CPU time of the new method is only 1/6 CPU time of the JPDA on the curvilinear situation.
